Our friends at The Rainbow Project are researching lesbian, gay and bisexual people’s experiences of equality and diversity in the workplace in Northern Ireland.

This is the first piece of research of its kind in Northern Ireland.It will provide a vital snapshot of the experiences of lesbian, gay and bisexual people working in Northern Ireland.

It will also provide an opportunity for organisations, government departments and private companies to assess the working environment for their lesbian, gay and bisexual employees and determine if there are additional policies that can be put in place, amendments that could be made to existing policies or measures that can be looked at to ensure that equality and diversity is respected and promoted in the working environment.

The research project has been part-funded by the Department for Social Development.#
